Dillian Whyte: I decided against sparring David Haye or Dereck Chisora

Brixton heavyweight Dillian White has revealed he turn down the chance to spar with David Haye and Dereck Chisora in the build up to his fight on 7 July.

Whyte (pictured) faces Gabor Farkas at York Hall in Bethnal Green and has already sparred with British and Commonwealth champion David Price and Irish heavyweight champion Tyson Fury but declined to do so with either Haye or Chisora before their fight next month because he ultimately couldn't choose between the pair.

"I am a tough guy and when I go to spar I bring it," said Whyte to Boxrec News. "A lot of guys go to spar and lay down after a couple of rounds – that's not me.

"I thought about it, and turned them both down, because they are both friends. I didn't want to spar with one and create bad feeling with the other."
